In the early part of the 16th century Spain and Portugal vied for mastery of the seas and the virgin territories of the New World. Against the back-drop of this race for power, a young boy on a Portuguese sailing ship encounters a mysterious tribe of natives in the South Pacific during a secret expedition. When Micas accidentally stumbles upon a strange world-within-a world, he finds that all the beliefs he was raised with are called into question. As he races to save his ship-mates from catastrophe, Micas must balance his loyalties to The Old World with the demands of the New World. This coming of age tale provides a unique and bittersweet perspective on living between civilizations and finding one's own truth in the world. "The Witch of The Pacific" is suitable for an audience 14 years and over and mixes fantasy, adventure, history, and action.
With a varied cast of characters, the story mixes adventure, history, magical realism, and mythology, 'The Witch of The Pacific" is set at a time when the peoples of Old Europe are coming to terms with the actualities of a New World. From Lisbon, to Mocambique, Goa, and on into the furthest reaches of Southern Oceania, Micas' journey sees him completely re-defined by story's end, through extraordinary experiences and changing beliefs. "The Witch of the Pacific" is first and foremost an historical adventure story, but the issues it deals with are relevant on many levels in today's fast-changing world.
